Refer to the instruction sheet packaged with the
connector to determine the appropriate crimping
chamber for the ferrule.
4. While holding the assembly together, begin to
close the tool handles. Keep holding the assembly
until the dies have closed enough to hold the
assembly in place.
5. Carefully close the tool handles until the ratchet
releases.
6. Allow the tool handles to open fully and remove
the crimped connector from the dies.
6. RATCHET ADJUSTMENT (Figure 5)
The frame assembly ratchet mechanism features an
adjustment wheel with numbered settings. If the crimp
height or retention force is not acceptable, adjust the
ratchet as follows:
NOTE
i
Refer to the appropriate application specification
(114-series dcument) for the required retention
force for the connector.
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the opposite side of the frame.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a
tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment
wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher–numbered setting. If a looser crimp is
required, rotate the adjustment wheel
CLOCKWISE to a lower–numbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the crimp height is acceptable, secure the
lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable,
remove lockscrew and continue to adjust the
ratchet, and again measure a sample crimp.
5. CENTER CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT
Make a sample crimp and determine if the center
contact is bending upward, bending downward, or
bending from side to side. If the contact is bent,
adjustment is required.
1. Loosen the adjustment screw.
2. Place a center contact with cable into the proper
crimping chamber and close the tool handles until
the locator and straightener assembly is holding
the contact in position.
3. Move the straightener up or down, as required,
to eliminate the bending of the center contact.
4. Tighten the adjustment screw and close the
handles until the ratchet releases.
